Detail Log (SAP Library - Database Administration (Oracle) with SAPDBA)

Detail Log

The detail log file contains information about the actions that were performed during the restore process.

Displays the relevant parameters of initialization profile init<DBSID>.sap that were set during the BRRESTORE run.

Restore flow. You can precisely monitor which backup was used to restore the files, which volumes were mounted, etc.

#FILE : Indicates the full path and the name of the restored file.

#NDBF : Indicates the full path and the name of the restored non-database file.

#DIR : Indicates the full name of the restored directory.

#ARCHIVE : Indicates the full path and the name of the restored archived redo log file.

#RESTORED : This item varies depending on which backup medium was used to restore the file:

Restore from tape

#RESTORED Name of the file on tape, file name/position on the tape (this information was used to save the file on tape; the new file name does not necessarily agree with this name.).

Restore from disk

#RESTORED Complete name of the file on disk, as it was saved, and the symbolic volume name and file position.

Restore using an external backup program

#RESTORED Backup ID returned by the external backup program when the file was backed up.

Log Supplements

Using the option -o dist|time to start BRRESTORE causes the detail log to be supplemented. The information about the distribution of files on the volumes (if you use -o dist ) refers to the time when the files were saved. See Log Supplements and -o|-output. The details of the backup times ( -o time ) refer to the recovery process.
